Check out this leaked image of an upcoming N-badged version of the Hyundai Veloster, which could be revealed in full later today. After the i30 N stormed onto the scene and started generating record levels of interest in the brand, the Korean brand is quickly following it up with a similarly-tweaked version of the oddball coupe. We’ve seen disguised versions of test mules before, complete with easily fistable exhausts and a rear diffuser. It looks like the mean-looking tailgate spoiler will make production as well, in the company of a gaping mesh grille and subtly stunning red detailing beneath the Performance Blue paint. While it’s all-but guaranteed that the Veloster N will use the same 2.0-litre turbo four-pot as the i30 N, rumour has it that it could be tweaked to produce slightly more muscle this time. The i30 N has a peak of 271bhp with the Performance Pack. We’re hoping for more news on this later today. We’ll update this piece if we get it. … [Read more...] about This Leaked Pic Reveals The Hot New Hyundai Veloster N Coupe

Used car buying guide: Fiat Coupe
When the conversation turns to future classics, the Fiat Coupé is rarely mentioned.The government scrappage scheme of 2009 wiped out many of them and prices for the couple of thousand or so remaining were on the floor around five years ago. Today, they start at about £1000 for runners but decent cars cluster around the £5000 mark. And then there’s nothing until you reach £10,000, where the best low-milers are to be found. The most expensive late-plate versions can be as high as £20,000. See Fiat Coupe for sale on PistonHeads We’re talking 20-valve, standard and Turbo, but mostly Turbo, models, by the way. The original 16-valve is almost non-existent, due to not only scrappage schemes but also its suitability as a spares donor for Lancia Delta Integrales.It may not be everyone’s cup of tea, but if it’s yours, it’s a cause for celebration that you can get a decent, well-maintained 20v Turbo for as little as £2995 … [Read more...] about Used car buying guide: Fiat Coupe

It was 1978, the German people were hungry for M-body Mopars, and they didn’t much care what they had to do in order to get them. An unscrupulous man named Qvell Kjale opened up an office in Munich, taking 50 percent deposits for “grey-market” Diplomats with the 318 V8 and velour trim.

2017 Mercedes-AMG GLC43 / GLC43 Coupe
Overall Rating: In recent years, Mercedes-Benz’s AMG performance group has been AMG-ifying everything from the mother ship it could get its hands on—and creating a few vehicles of its own from scratch. The AMG badge currently adorns 40 vehicles: 11 SUVs, nine sports cars, seven coupes, seven sedans, five convertibles, and one station wagon. Two of AMG’s most recent creations are the GLC43 and the GLC43 coupe, and they are winners. Using the workaday Mercedes-Benz GLC-class as its foundation, AMG engineers drop a 362-hp twin-turbocharged 3.0-liter V-6 under the hood, add an adaptive suspension with a performance bent, and dust the GLC inside and out with a liberal coating of sporty styling elements. What they’ve created is a pair of unnaturally sporty compact luxury SUVs with a near perfect blend of comfort, athleticism, and utility that are as at home attacking apexes as they are traversing interstates. If you like the sound of that as much as we do, then all … [Read more...] about 2017 Mercedes-AMG GLC43 / GLC43 Coupe
Hyundai is Developing a High-Performance Hybrid Sports Coupe
Regardless of what you thought of the car itself, you have to give Hyundai credit for putting the original Genesis Coupe into production. Back in 2009, Hyundai was still mostly known for selling cars that made for adequate, affordable transportation, so a rear-wheel-drive sports coupe was a shock. But while the Genesis Coupe was recently canceled, it appears Hyundai is already at work on a new high-performance two-door.Speaking to Australia’s Drive, Luc Donckerwolke, head of design at Genesis, confirmed a new sports coupe is in the works, even if it’s still in the early stages. “I can’t tell you more about it, but definitely we are doing that,” Donckerwolke said. “I am actually reviewing a project on this next week after CES. We’re not going to go autonomous for all cars just yet.”Yang Woong Chul, Hyundai’s head of research and development, however, did have more to say. “We cannot … [Read more...] about Hyundai is Developing a High-Performance Hybrid Sports Coupe
